Print Recipe

A quick and easy no-bake dessert featuring layers of shortcake biscuits, whipped cream, and fresh strawberries, perfect for summer and requiring no oven.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 12 to 15 shortcake biscuits or pound cake slices
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. Wash and slice about 4 cups of fresh strawberries. Pat dry if needed.
  2. Chill mixing bowl and beaters for 10 minutes if possible.
  3. Pour 2 cups heavy whipping cream into the bowl, add 1/3 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, being careful not to overbeat.
  4. In a 9×9-inch glass or ceramic dish, place a single layer of shortcake biscuits or pound cake slices, overlapping slightly.
  5. Spread about one-third of the whipped cream evenly over the biscuits.
  6. Scatter about one-third of the sliced strawberries evenly over the whipped cream.
  7. Repeat layering biscuits, whipped cream, and strawberries two more times.
  8. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (at least 8 hours) to allow biscuits to soften and flavors to meld.
  9. Slice into squares and serve chilled.

Notes

Chilling the bowl and beaters helps the cream whip faster and hold shape longer. Let the cake chill overnight for best texture. Use a serrated knife for neat slices. To stabilize whipped cream, add a teaspoon of cornstarch while whipping if needed. Frozen strawberries can be used if thawed and drained well to avoid sogginess.
